Nietzsche as a Moderate

For as extreme as Nietzsche likes to sound, I think most of it is for show. To command the attention of his audience and to promote debate and argument. I think at heart Nietzsche supports moderation. A comfortable middle ground between believing in God and believing in nothing. At first he seems like nihilism is the only way to go and that one must abandon all faith in abstract ideas. But now he seems to be revisiting these same abstract ideas and destructing them and trying to understand how they work within society One example is guilt, and how man only feels guilty because he believes in God and the godly standard.

Perhaps too, at the beginning Nietzsche did fully support nihilism. Now he is backtracking a little as he begins to understand his own ideas and change them a little to support new claims. He now seems to think a little faith is a good thing, but he cannot yet comprehend what type or what form this object of trust may take. This is one of the aspects (there are many) which frustrates me about Nietzsche. He is so vague. He offers ideas and solutions with no direction. Perhaps it is something we must contemplate individually and come up with within ourselves. Self understanding. Existentialism. The fact that humans recognize their world and cannot dismiss it for something spiritual. That humans take their concrete world and apply their own meaning to it from within themselves. That, perhaps, is Nietzsche's third item. But at this point even he has no idea.
